Importing and managing assets by using IBM InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager

You can review and preview imports of metadata assets, and you can manage assets that are in the metadata repository.

Overview of InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
You use InfoSphere® Metadata Asset Manager to import, export, and manage common metadata assets, which are vital to all components of the InfoSphere Information Server suite. You can import assets to a staging area before you share them to the metadata repository. In the metadata repository, you can export assets, browse and search for common metadata assets, set implementation relationships between them, and merge duplicates.
Administering InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
The Common Metadata Administrator configures InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager for use and sets import policies.
Importing and sharing assets
You can run a managed or express import, work with the assets in the staging area, preview the result of sharing, and share the import to the metadata repository.
Exporting assets with InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
You can use the OMG CWM 1 XMI 1 bridge to export implemented data resources from the metadata repository.
Command-line interface for InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
You can use the command-line interface to import metadata, delete import areas, and perform other actions. You run the imam command from a Windows batch (.bat) script or a Linux or UNIX shell (.sh) script.
Managing common metadata assets
You can use the Repository Management tab in InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager to view, compare, merge, and delete assets that are stored in the metadata repository. You can also set implementation relationships between logical and physical data models and implemented data resources.
